Other: Internal Hatch Bungees Question

I know I've seen pics of a modification of Ross's internal bungee hatch hold-down system where the bungees could be released via lines running through the bulkheads, which were then "tied off" in the cockpit area with jam cleats. What I don't recall is whether I saw the pics on this forum, or on someone's individual web site. I'm interested in details as to how the bungee lines were rigged and run, whether it took two releases per hatch (one for each side), whether the full run of line was bungee or combined with a regular line (and if so, how that was done), etc.

Did I dream this or does someone know where a modification like that has been posted or discussed?

Thanks everyone.
